The 'Chalet Girl' actor and the 27-year-old blonde beauty are said to have moved out of their Los Angeles home which they shared together to spend some time apart, though an insider close to Jessica says the pair - who started dating in May last year - ''still love each other''.

A source told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: ''Ed did not dump Jess, I think they still love each other -- they're just taking time apart to work on themselves and their careers.

''They had a flat together and remodelled and furnished it, but she is now living in her own apartment elsewhere.

''They still talk, but Jess has booked a film and has been spending a lot of time away shooting recently.''

The 'FML' actress had stood by Ed throughout his recent ordeal which saw him accused of rape and sexual assault.

After he was cleared of the serious allegations the pair went partying together, and Jessica wrote on her Instagram of the news: ''Very happy for this man. After everything, justice was served.''

The 'Gossip Girl' star was accused in November last year of raping two women and sexually assaulting a third in incidents dating back to 2014, but it was revealed in July that the allegations had been dismissed as Los Angeles County prosecutors didn't have sufficient evidence to charge him.

Shortly after the news came out, Ed was spotted letting his hair down at SBE's Sunset Strip hotspot Hyde in La La Land with Jessica and friends.

A source said at the time: ''Ed was in great spirits and seemed much happier now that the drama is behind him. He was lovey-dovey all night with his girlfriend.''

The 31-year-old actor had previously denied the allegations made against him by Kristen Cohen, Aurelie Wynn and Rachel Eck on social media, but earlier this year removed his statements from his accounts.

After Kristina accused Ed of raping her in 2014, the actor tweeted: ''I do not know this woman. I have never forced myself in any manner, on any woman. I certainly have never committed rape.''

He took to social media again after Aurelie accused him of a similar crime, where he slammed the allegations against him as ''provably untrue'', and insisted he would never do anything so ''vile''.

He wrote: ''It is disheartening and sad to me that as a result of two unverified and provably untrue social media claims, there are some in this environment who could ever conclude I have had anything to do with such vile and horrific conduct. I have absolutely not, and am cooperating with the authorities so that they can clear my name as soon as possible (sic).''
